Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Best of luck with your new routine, Christos! Keep us updated.
Get it, Tom! #PAAMF Squats (front / wide stance) - extreme focus on slow tempo and depth. Didn't wanna go very heavy or much volume since it's back day and I can't deadlift for crap if I squat heavy right before. Set 1 - 135x10 (warmup) Set 2 - 225x5 Set 3 - 225x5 Set 4 - 225x5 Set 5 - 225x5 Deadlift (no chalk) Set 1 - 135x5 (warmup) Set 2 - 225x5 Set 3 - 225x5 Set 4 - 315x3 Set 5 - 315x1 Single Arm Dumbell Rows SS w/ Dumbell Hammer Curls Set 1 - 10reps @ 70 (warmup) SS w/ 25lb dumbells for 10reps Set 2 - 10reps @ 85 SS w/ 35lb for 10reps Set 3 - 10reps @ 90 SS w/ 35lb for 10reps Set 4 - 8reps @ 95 SS w/ 35lb for 8reps Set 5 - 6reps @ 100 SS w/ 35lb for 5reps Close Grip Rows - 3x10 @ 200 Wide Grip Rows - 3x10 @ 160 Cable Lat Pulldowns - 3x15 @ 80 (had to go lighter for my elbow's sake) I've got Group Power (HIIT) tonight ... I'll probably die, sooo ... you've all been great! Best of luck going fwd! LOL Also, diet update - one week deep into low carb and my body loves it. It always takes me a few weeks before my body starts letting go of weight on this eating routine but I already feel mentally better and my sleep is improving. By week 3 or 4 I'll be dropping some lbs so hopefully I'll have some good weight loss figures to report before too terribly long |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Tom, on chest day I try to do at least one superset with the primary and secondary muscles. I have an arm day on Thursday but I want that tiny bit of arm work on Mondays and Tuesday, plus I feel like it ratchets up my workout's intensity and makes me push my chest and back harder on Mondays and Tuesday's. So, in short, I enjoy it
Love me some rows too. Good stuff man! Gotta love high volume shoulder workouts! Killer shrug #'s too! One day I'll be able to shrug like you. Out of curiosity, what kind of volume are you doing with the heavier shrugs? I usually stick to mid-range when I do barbell shrugs. Last edited by swingerofbirches; 06-02-2015 at 12:47 PM. |

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
I'm getting easy 20 on the lighter sets, Charlie, and 12-15 on the heavy sets. My grip strength gives out before my traps, but I rarely wear straps so that's just how it goes.
Love me some supersets too, haven't incorporated many in the last few months though. Sounds like a good change up for me and way to ramp up my intensity. Think I'll start throwing some in the mix.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
I hear ya, Tom! I LOVE supersets! I used to SS chest/back & shoulders/arms fefore I went to this routine and only do one muscle group per day. However, my Wed-Fri are still completely supersetted. Wednesday is shoulders so I SS them. Thursday is arms so I do bicep SS as he first half of my lift and tri SS for the last half. Friday is "light" chest & back so I'll SS chest/back then.
Ok, survey time everyone ... what's your favorite superset (or top3)? Personally ... 1) Tricep cable pull downs SS w/ Overhead cable rope extensions. 2) EZBar preacher curl SS w/ Dumbell hammer curls 3) Flat Bench (chest) SS w/ Close grip bench (tris) |

Nice, Huy!
I have two hockey games tomorrow, so just some quick arms and abs for me in the AM, and then Thursday off for sure.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Did a 1.5 miles of sprints today. My knees are hurting a bit so I took some meds and extra fish oil in preparation for deadlifts tonight.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Great lifts Christos & Chris!
Squats - back/wide stance Set 1 - 135x5 (warmup) Set 2 - 235x5 (warmup) Set 3 - 315x5 Set 4 - 315x5 Set 5 - 315x5 Focused on speed and depth .. figured I'd take it easier today with the weight and volume considering that HIIT last night still has me pretty beat! Shoulders today ... OHP - 5x10 (8 last set) @ 100 SS w/ Front Plate Raises @ 45 (5x10) Cable Front Raises 3x10 @ 50 SS w/ Single Arm Cable Side Raises 3x10 @ 20 Cable Standing Trap Row 3x10 @ 110 SS w/ Rope-to-Nose Cable Trap Pull 3x10 @ 110 I tried to shrug but I kept feeling a pinch in my left side so I figured better to stop than get hurt. Cardio later with the wife. |
